Love that this goes into the history of floral arrangements and acknowledges the role and harm of colonialism!! Was not expecting this to be so informative history wise

And now we're doing the "overhears half a conversation and comes to the wrong conclusion"....Awesome....

Exposed as a non gamer for saying "I'll regenerate" instead of respawn lmaoooo

I do appreciate the realities of a girl who's just being herself and gets so much shit for it (when really she can't win either way). Well done, but its not my favorite method of a third act "noo we cant date actually"

They are so cute 🥺 the banter is great, love the food puns and how they listen to each other. Also the woman being Grumpy actually has consequences that are talked about!

AND he actively unlearns and calls out toxic masculinity??? Love it

THEY ARE SO CUTE classic grumpy sunshine lol Benny manages to be teasing without crossing a line

"I placed the last of my tools - quills - in a box. I pressed my palms together and bowed, leaving my post in pursuit of life noise."

"Soon the leaves, like dying hands, would fall."

Not loving this like I hoped :( I like Opal but Pepper doesn't have much of a personality. They just. Decide to get together I didn't feel it building really

It's just back and forth Pepper loving her and being mean to her 😭

I understand Pepper and she's right to be as mad as she is, but also stop being mean to Opal 😭

They are pretty cute, even if Riley is a bit too obsessed with theater. And things going her way. But that she's getting more into DND is fun

UMM she literally went to another city with her friends without a license and she's mad at her punishment of getting a job??? WHAT

Great writing to make just light spelunking (relatively) seem so dramatic! Love the power!

Ruth has kind of disappeared from this. I can tell you all about the other women but I have no idea where she is

So Edwina totally murdered her husband too yeah??? Loving this but the domestic abuse scenes even as short as they are are intense for me

Why are we doing the third act breakup in the last 7%???? This is book is so nothing lol

"I feel - to speak of it would be to contain what it did to me, to make it small. I don't want to do that." Exactly how I feel bout this book

"how strange to uncover things in sequence!" God I love this book. The creativity, and humor, and all the little emotions ❤️

Man I forgot how much I loved Blue's sassy little replies

Rereading this as my 1000 book logged in GR! Love the writing, its just so good and so far beyond me I can't even find how to describe it. Enthralling, and so creative

my man is NOT putting enough work in lol she is kissing you just tell you want to be a thing!! instead he's just like. letting her spiral

The writing is still so weird and trying too hard, but I like to see them desperate for each other. Very intimate

Man I have no idea who all these extra characters are I keep zoning out

"I can't believe she doesn't know she has ADHD" *displays literally every sign of autism* I love her they're so messy

To the exiled also very powerful

And the whole of "to the goddess of vengeance and the goddess of mercy" is amazing
